WINNER: METROID. Intergalactic bounty hunter Samus Aran was able to win the vote by a very small margin, after nearly being beaten by She-Ra. It was a close call, with the two lead nominees neck and neck throughout the final weekend. Thanks again to everyone who voted, shared, and gave us feedback.

Today, we go directly into development, in collaboration with Nerdist. The goal is to craft the best Metroid short film experience, which is no easy task. If you want to watch our progress, bookmark this page, and follow us on Facebook and Twitter, where we will give regular updates.

We're recording a new Roundtable later this week with thoughts on the contest. If you have questions for us, submit them through our contact page. See you soon!
